Hänneschen und die Pfeffermühle

My family and I came here for dinner our second night in Cologne, and it was AMAZING. The food was brilliant, very authentic German food, and was so delicious. We ate it all!! The staff were super friendly, spoke English fluently, and were great the whole time. We sat outside, but it has very nice seating inside and out! Highly recommend to anyone coming from the Cathedral or looking for a nice meal in the old town :)

AMAZING does not even begin to describe this place! We absolutely loved the food, service, and atmosphere!! The waiter explained all of our options, since it was our first restaurant in Germany. He went above and beyond to help us and make sure that we enjoyed our meal. Highly recommend!!

We sat outside be cause the weather was nice, the staff were nice too, the waiting time was reasonable. The food: We ordered a 0.2 l Gaffel Kölsch ~2,6€, a Mixed grill dish ~28€, and a plate of Jägerschnitzel ~18.5€. I liked the taste of Jägerschnitzel nothing wow! But also not bad. But the mixed grill plate really lacked the taste… in all meats. No salt no nothing. So we had to eat the grills with the sauce in Jägerschnitzel to make the grills taste something. The steak was medium, although we were not asked before about the level of cooking, but we love medium. Overall I recommend this restaurant just for its atmosphere not taste of the foods.

Our First Schnitzel Experience in Germany — and It Didn’t Disappoint! This was our first time trying Wiener Schnitzel in Germany, as we missed out during our previous visit to Köln. We’re so glad we made it to *Hänneschen und die Pfeffermühle* this time! The food was delicious, the service was warm and attentive, and the overall atmosphere was perfect. We visited at the beginning of summer and were lucky to get a seat on the terrace — the ideal setting to enjoy refreshing drinks and a hearty meal. A truly memorable experience that made our return to Cologne even more special.

Food is good here. I came here on two separate occasions. Ordered lasagna, curry wurst with fries, and schnitzel with gravy & bacon. All very filling.
